"... Areas where food is short replace eating with hunger. For one “goofy” on the subject of sex, have him find places where he can’t survive, because the decision he can’t survive is concurrent with his decision he can’t create. One who has decided he can’t survive usually goes into the hectic application of sex.

"Actually, ridicule, betrayal, etc. are all attention. The

[Note: Ron refers to the book On Auditing here and suggests to add the items "Eating and Sex" to the applause scale (see as well illustration on p49 of her book)]
